A lot of people thought I wasn't doing anything because I was spending a lot of time socialising and going out, but I've always managed to get work actually done.

It's such a crass idea - you're either in love or out of love.

I can't understand why most people believe in medicine and don't believe in art, without questioning either.

I have always been aware that you have to get people listening before you can change their minds. Any artist's big fear is being ignored, so if you get debate, that's great.

It's very easy to say, 'I could have done that,' after someone's done it. But I did it. You didn't. It didn't exist until I did it.

I think as an artist you have to reinvent yourself every day.

Painting is so poetic, while sculpture is more logical and scientific and makes you worry about gravity.

You've really got to get down on the floor with yourself and get low in order to make great art. I think you've just got to accept who you are and do the most unbelievable things.

I sometimes feel that I have nothing to say and I want to communicate this.

I believe all painting and art should be uplifting for the viewer.

I love color. I feel it inside me. It gives me a buzz.

The things I call crisis and all the things that were coming after me are all coming to serve the purpose of God in my life.

A timid mind is apt to mistake every scratch for a mortal wound.

The best way to predict your future is to create it

Long term sustainability requires relentless endurance and gratitude in all your efforts.

Because a fellow has failed once or twice or a dozen times you don't want to set him down as a failure until he's dead or loses his courage - and that's the same thing.

I got a dog-training book. It says Grendel needs mental stimulation, so I tried to train him, but I think he must be retarded.

When you come to religion, you come to a place. When you come to Jesus Christ, you come to a person.

It is only in the depths of silence that the voice of God can be heard.

I think movies lost a lot when they went to stereo and five-track sound.

No man shall be compelled to frequent or support any religious worship, place, or ministry whatsoever.
